5.3.1 Activity and Fragment Lifecycle Methods

Q1. Which of the following statements is false?
a. A Fragment’s lifecycle is tied to that of its parent Activity.
b. There are six Activity lifecycle methods that have corresponding Fragment
lifecycle methods—onCreate, onStart, onResume, onPause, onStop and
onDestroy.
c. When the system calls life cycle methods on an Activity, it will also call the cor-
responding methods (and potentially other Fragment lifecycle methods) on all of the
Activity’s attached Fragments.
d. An Activity’s onResume method is called when a Fragment is on the screen and
ready for the user to interact with it.
Answer: b. There are six Activity lifecycle methods that have corresponding
Fragment lifecycle methods—onCreate, onLoad, onResume, onPause, onStop and
onDestroy. Actually, there are six Activity lifecycle methods that have corre-
sponding Fragment lifecycle methods—onCreate, onStart, onResume, onPause,
onStop and onDestroy.

Q2. Which of the following statements is false?

a. When an Activity hosts Fragments and the Activity is resumed, all of its Frag-
ments’ onResume methods are called.
b. An Activity’s onPause method is called when another Activity receives the
focus, which pauses the one that loses the focus and sends it to the background.
c. When an Activity hosts Fragments and the Activity is paused, all of its Frag-
ments’ onPause methods are called.
d. When an app is paused, it should ensure that listeners for sensor events are still
active.
Answer: d. When an app is paused, it should ensure that listeners for sensor
events are still active. Actually, when an app is paused, it should remove listeners
for sensor events so these events are not delivered to the app when it’s not on the
screen. This saves battery.

5.3.9 New Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) Permissions Model

Q1. Which of the following statements is false?
a. Android requires the permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_PER-
MISSION before an app can write to external storage.
b. Before Android 6.0, a user was required at start time to grant in advance all permis-
sions that an app would ever need—this caused many people not to install certain apps.
c. With the new permissions model, the app is installed without asking for any permis-
sions. Instead, the user is asked to grant a permission only the first time the correspond-
ing feature is used.
d. Once the user grants a permission, the app has that permission until the app is rein-
stalled or the user changes the app’s permissions via the Android Settings app.
Answer: b. Before Android 6.0, a user was required at start time to grant in ad-
vance all permissions that an app would ever need—this caused many people not
to install certain apps. b. Before Android 6.0, a user was required at installation
time to grant in advance all permissions that an app would ever need—this caused
many people not to install certain apps.

mine how to handle each event.
b. Motion-Event’s getActionIndex method returns an integer index representing
which finger caused the event. This index is the finger’s unique ID.
c. If the action is MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN or MotionEvent.AC-
TION_POINTER_DOWN, the user touched the screen with a new finger. e. If the action
